Buku-Buku Tentang Software Entrepreneurship

Bidang ilmu software entrepreneurship memang masih belum terlalu populer di Indonesia. Karena kalah jauh gaungnya dibandingkan ilmu klasik tentang kewirausahaan (entrepreneurship) yang banyak diajarkan di bangku kuliah. Sebagai titik tolak dalam mempelajari tentang bagaimana bisnis software itu sendiri besarta model bisnis dan manajemennya hingga pemasarannya, maka kami coba hadirkan hasil penelusuruan pustaka yang kami dapatkan yaitu berupa beberapa buku bagus yang dapat dijadikan fondasi awal untuk mempelajari tentang software entrepreneurship tersebut.
